INTRODUCTION  TO  FOURTH  EDITION 

No  change  has  been  made  in  this  list  for  five  "years.  In  pre- 
paring this  edition  all  books  included  in  the  last,  that  of  1913, 
were  carefully  considered,  174  of  them  were  dropped  and  173 
were  added  to  take  their  places.  (Through  an  error  the  1913 
list  contained  1,001  titles.) 

In  making  these  changes  we  engaged  the  services  of  Myron 
R.  Williams,  now  professor  of  English  at  Phillips  Exeter 
Academy,  Exeter,  N.  H.  To  him  the  whole  project  was  sub- 
mitted, for  criticism  of  the  old  list  and  for  suggestions  for  the 
present  one.  His  work  proved  most  helpful  in  many  ways,  and 
particularly  by  adding  the  outlook  of  the  whole  field  of  fiction 
which  is  taken  by  a  wide  and  generous  reader  and  eager  student 
of  literature,  to  the  views  of  the  practising  librarians,  members 
of  the  Newark  library  staff,  who  were  eager  to  make  a  list 
which  shall  please  our  own  peculiar  clientele.  The  correspond- 
ence with  Mr.  Williams  was  conducted  for  the  library  by  Miss 
Marie  L.  Prevost,  our^head  cataloger.  It  was  vigorously  pressed 
on  both  sides  and  was  keenly  enjoyed  by  all  of  us  who  kept 
in  touch  with  it.  The  result  was  the  inevitable,  and  to  us  very 
admirable,  compromise.  That  Mr.  Williams  was  fairly  well 
content  to  have  the  number  of  changes  made  as  few  as  173, 
is  evidence  that  the  old  list,  itself  the  product  of  many  hands 
through  several  revisions,  had  no  small  merit.  It  should  be 
noted,  however,  that  Mr.  Williams, — as  well  as  the  librarian, 
and  Miss  Prevost,  and  Miss  Beatrice  Winser,  assistant  librarian 
and  several  assistants, — was  restrained  in  his  freedom  of  choice 
in  no  small  degree  by  the  statements  concerning  the  character 
of  the  list  which  are  found  in  the  preface  to  the  first  edition, 
1904,  here  reprinted.  These  statements  were  accepted  by  all 
of  us  as  still  binding.  That  is  to  say,  the  list  is  not  Mr. 
Williams'  list ;  but  is  a  list  to  which  he  can  give  a  fairly  generous 
approval,  in  view  of  the  limitations  set  by  the  purpose  for  which 
it  is  intended. 

Miss  Prevost  it  should  be  said,  not  only  made  the  first  copy 
for  the  printer,  including  the  examination  of  editions,  publishers' 
prices,  etc.;  she  also,  like  Mr.  Williams,  gave  the  whole  field 
of  fiction,  and  especially  novels  of  the  last  five  years,  a  careful 
review.  The  list  owes  much  to  her  work  and  study.

INTRODUCTION  TO  THE  FIRST  EDITION 


Much  of  the  best  literature  is  fiction.  Shakespeare's  fancy 
did  not  burden  itself  with  facts.  His  history  was  far  less 
accurate  that  Winston  Churchill's.  His  imagination  waited  on 
his  humor,  as  always  in  the  fabulist.  Dogberry's  original  would 
be  harder  to  find  than  David  Harum's.  All  dramas  are  novels 
plus  a  playwright's  stage  directions.  Poetry  is  fiction  first,  and 
then  poetry.  Chaucer  began  the  great  line  of  English  story- 
tellers; and  Hardy  and  Barrie,  and  scores  of  others,  are  their 
worthy  followers. 

If  printing  was  a  happy  thought  and  books  are  not  a  curse, 
then  novels  must  be  praised.  They  belong,  with  the  dramas 
and  the  poems,  among  the  good  things  which  make  our  heritage ; 
which  unite  men  by  community  of  thought  and  feeling;  which 
make  it  a  joy  to  have  the  art  of  reading;  and  give  us  simple 
pleasures,  strong  emotions,  knowledge  of  our  fellows,  and 
sympathy  with  all  mankind. 

One  may  live  well  and  be  happy  and  read  no  stories;  but 
most  are  wiser,  happier  and  worth  more  to  their  fellows  for 
the  novels  they  have  read. 

There  is  much  discussion  of  the  novel  and  most  of  it  quite 
profitless.  To  no  two  men  does  life  seem  the  same.  Each,  if 
he  writes,  must  report  that  which  he  sees.  One  talks  of  realism, 
and  professes  to  give  us  a  transcript  of  life  as  it  truly  is,  and  for- 
gets that  the  life  which  truly  is,  for  him,  is  a  life  no  other  ever 
saw  or  ever  can  see,  and  that  his  own  vision  set  out  in  words  of 
his  own  choosing  is  a  part  of  his  own  self,  and  real  to  no  other 
mind. 

•It  pleases  some  to  write  the  fanciful  romances.  They  lay 
the  scene  in  fairyland,  in  Csesar's  Rome,  in  Cromwell's  England, 
or  in  a  Kansas  country  town,  as  is  to  them  easy  and  attractive. 
If  well  done  they  seem  true  to  fact  as  one  reads  them.  They 
portray  men  and  women  who  seem  like  the  men  and  women  of 
our  daily  experience.  Between  this  good  romance  and  the  best 
of  realistic  novels,  who  can  draw  a  line  of  separation? 

And  shall  the  novel  have  no  purpose?  May  it  not  try  to  make 
a  little  history  more  real?  To  enforce  a  moral?  To  plead  for 
some  reform?  To  expose  some  abuse,  gird  at  some  folly, 
satirize  some  weakness  ?  To  these  questions  the  sufficient  answer 
is  the  abounding  fact.  If  trees  may  grow  and  birds  may  sing  then 


A   THOUSAND   OF   THE    BEST    NOVELS.  5 

novels  may  be  as  their  writers  please.  Moreover,  supply  follows 
demand.  Many  like  their  history,  sermons,  satires,  psychology, 
and  all  their  studies  of  their  fellowmen  set  forth  in  fiction, 
and  dramas,  poetry  and  the  novel  are  straightway  produced. 
Why  quarrel  with  this?  And  why  beat  the  air  with  a  vain 
discussion  of  forms,  influences  and  rules  and  principles?  Tom 
Sawyer  is  a  good  story,  but  its  moral  is  not  easily  found. 
Many  have  found  morals  in  King  Lear,  and  call  it  also  a  good 
tale.  Neither  story  is  true.  To  say  both  are  realistic  makes 
neither  better  worth  reading.  To  condemn  either  because  it 
differs  from  the  other  is  absurd.  To  read  discussions  of  either 
by  one  less  a  poet  than  Shakespeare  or  less  a  humorist  than 
Twain  is  a  waste  of  time. 

And  yet  as  some  novels  are  surely  better  than  others,  as  well  as 
different  from  them,  it  is  wise  to  read  chiefly  the  better  ones ; 
and  how  shall  we  distinguish  if  one  does  not  compare?  Are 
there  not  principles  of  literary  criticism  which  one  may  learn,  and 
then  may  apply  and  then  may  see  fiction  humbly  classify  itself 
into  best,  good,  poor  and  bad  before  one's  eyes?  Because  novels 
pass  from  the  best  to  the  worst  by  an  infinite  series  of  minute 
gradations  are  we  estopped  from  saying  of  any  one,  this  is  in 
the  upper  ranks,  of  another,  this  is  in  the  lower  ranks?  Within 
certain  limits,  yes.  Is  there  no  way  of  telling  a  good  novel  when 
you  see  one?  No,  there  is  not. 

Here  are  poems,  plays  and  stones.  Their  prime  purpose  is  to 
please.  If  that  statement  seems  to  set  too  high  a  value  on 
pleasure  and  to  underestimate  teaching  and  preaching,  then  we 
can  at  least  say  that  if  novels  do  not  please  they  are  not  read  and 
fail  at  all  points.  If  they  please  a  few,  they  are  in  so  far  good; 
if  they  please  many  we  may  call  them  better.  How  shall  we 
arrive  at  a  more  definite  estimate?  Is  the  best  poet  he  who  is 
most  read?  May  we  insist  that  in  the  rating  of  the  poet's  work 
the  character  of  his  readers  be  considered  as  well  as  their 
number?  May  a  poem  or  a  story  prove  its  greatness  by  its 
popularity?  Does  it  lose  its  greatness  as  its  popularity  wanes? 
Have  we  a  supreme  court  of  fiction? 

The  conclusion  of  the  whole  matter  is  simple.  We  cannot 
make  rules  for  pleasures,  or  regulate  taste  by  laws.  Tastes,  feel- 
ings, pleasures  come  by  nature,  and  they  come  differently  to 
everyone.  They  do  not  come  by  reason  and  they  do  not  change 
to  order.  A  good  general  guide  in  art,  in  belles-lettres,  in  fiction, 


6  A   THOUSAND    OF   THE   BEST    NOVELS. 

poetry  and  drama  is  this:  Those  things  which  have  pleased  the 
most  people  for  the  longest  time  are  the  better.  The  better  book 
is  the  one  that  gives  the  greater  pleasure  and  those  that  have 
long  given  pleasure  not  only  deserve  praise  for  work  done  but 
deserve  to  be  reported  as  likely  to  continue  to  give  pleasure. 
Further,  those  persons  are  likely  to  be  better  judges  of  the 
pleasure-giving  capacities  of  a  book  who  have  read  many  books, 
who  take  delight  in  reading,  and  so  have  shown  themselves  to  be 
sensitive  to  such  matters  as  style,  plot  and  characterization.  The 
old  books,  then,  which  have  long  been  read  and  enjoyed  are  prob- 
ably worth  reading  again.  And  of  the  newer  books  those  are 
more  likely  to  be  worth  reading  which  people  with  experience, 
sensitive  temperament  and  brains  say  are  good. 

This  is  a  preface  to  a  list  of  good  novels.  The  compilers  of  it 
have  not  assumed  to  be  judges;  but  have  selected  from  the  old 
books  those  that  seem  best  as  judged  by  their  more  frequent  use 
by  people  of  taste  and  sense,  and  from  the  newer  books  those 
which  the  best  current  criticism  points  out  as  best  worth  while. 
Accordingly,  we  call  it  a  list  of  a  thousand  of  the  best  novels. 
It  has  been  selected  by  the  best  rule  we  could  discover,  the  rule 
of  experience. 

*      41      *      afc      *      * 

The  library  buys  some  of  the  new  novels  as  issued  from  month 
to  month  and  year  to  year.  Most  of  them  lose  their  popularity 
in  a  few  months.  Copies  of  them  accumulate  on  the  shelves,  and 
the  titles  swell  the  catalog.  As  they  wear  out  they  must  be 
replaced,  if  still  in  the  catalog;  and  yet  they  are  little  wanted. 
To  meet  these  difficulties  we  propose  to  revise  the  whole  list, 
omit  those  little  used,  select  good  editions  of  the  titles  remaining 
on  the  list  thus  reduced  and  try  to  keep  a  good  supply  of  them 
on  hand.  The  thousand  titles  herewith  form  the  foundation  of 
such  a  shortened  list.  Not  all  the  other  4,000  titles  now  on  the 
shelves  will  be  dropped  but  many  of  them  will  be  gradually,  some 
will  be  transferred  to  literature,  and  some  will  be  retained  and 
their  cards  kept  in  the  catalog.  This  list  meanwhile  will  be 
widely  circulated,  being  offered  as  a  sufficiently  large  collection 
for  ordinary  use.  New  novels  will  be  purchased  as  issued  as 
heretofore  and  the  thousand  titles  will  be  reprinted  in  about  a 
year,  with  such  omissions  and  additions  as  criticism  and  good 
new  books  make  advisable. 

We  have  omitted  some  of  those  older  books  which  are  in  every 


A   THOUSAND    OF   THE   BEST    NOVELS.  7 

library,  which  no  gentleman's  library  should  be  without,  which 
everyone  knows  of  and  very  few  read.  It  seemed  unnecessary 
to  reprint  their  titles  here. 

We  wished  to  cover  the  whole  field  and  have  thought  it  proper 
to  omit  a  good  many  titles  from  the  long  lists  of  such  acknowl- 
edged masters  as  Scott,  Balzac  and  Hardy  and  to  put  in  books 
by  lesser  men.  Thus  we  may  have  lowered  the  grade  of  the 
whole  a  little;  but  have,  we  hope,  by  covering  a  wider  range  of 
writers,  made  it  more  interesting. 

We  have  come  down  to  date.  And  because  we  wish  the  list  to 
be  attractive  to  the  average  reader  in  the  average  library,  we  have 
admitted  a  good  many  recent  books,  whose  worth  is  still  open  to 
question. 

Books  for  young  people,  not  popular  with  the  elders,  we  have 
reserved  for  a  brief  supplementary  list.  The  same  is  true  of 
fairy  tales,  folklore  and  books  of  humor  not  carrying  a  strong 

thread  of  story. 

****** 

On  a  list  of  all  the  novels  in  the  Newark  library,  about  5,000 
titles,  a  D  was  placed  opposite  all  titles  found  in  the  list  of  about 
i, 800  novels  for  old  and  young  compiled  by  the  Denver  library 
in  1896.  This  Denver  list  was  formed  by  selecting  about  half 
of  the  3,500  titles  which  had  been  purchased  by  that  library  during 
the  previous  seven  years. 

On  the  same  list  an  S  was  then  marked  opposite  all  titles  found 
in  a  list  of  novels  compiled  by  the  City  Library,  Springfield, 
Mass.,  in  1901.  This  Springfield  list  was  formed  by  selecting 
about  1,800  novels  for  adults  from  a  list  of  about  ten  thousand 
gathered  during  the  previous  40  years. 

On  the  same  list  an  A  was  then  marked  opposite  all  titles  found 
in  the  list  of  novels  for  adults,  about  800  titles,  forming  part  of 
the  list  of  8,000  books  for  small  libraries  compiled  by  the  Ameri- 
can Library  Association  for  the  St.  Louis  Exhibition.  This  was 
done  from  galley  proofs,  not  from  the  final  list. 

Then  the  librarian,  the  first  assistant,  and  the  chiefs  of  the 
reference  and  delivery  departments  and  the  reading  room  in  the 
Newark  library  marked,  on  this  same  Newark  list,  their  several 
initials  opposite  the  1,000  titles  they  each  preferred. 

The  Newark  list  was  then  marked  in  the  same  way  for  a 
thousand  titles,  by  Miss  Medlicott,  Reference  Librarian  of  the 
City  Library,  Springfield,  Mass. 


8  A    THOUSAND    OF    THE    BEST    NOVELS. 

It  was  checked  by  Leypoldt  and  lies'  list  of  books  for  girls  and 
women  and  their  clubs. 

With  these  several  marks  as  a  basis,  and  following  them  in  most 
cases,  the  Newark  library  then  selected  about  700  titles  as  a  first 
draft  of  the  final  list.  To  these  titles  were  added  full  names, 
publishers  and  prices. 

Most  of  the  marks  placed  as  above  described  were  gathered 
opposite  a  total  of  about  1,400  titles.  Of  these  the  700  selected  for 
a  basis  were  only  half.  It  has  been  interesting  to  note  that  the 
selection  of  the  300  titles  to  complete  the  1,000  was  much  the  more 
difficult  part  of  the  task.  It  seems  that  about  700  novels  may  be 
classed  as  obviously  "good."  We  think  almost  any  reader  would 
put  about  700  of  the  books  in  this  list  in  a  list  of  the  thousand 
best  which  he  might  compile.  About  the  other  300,  opinions 
would  widely  differ. 

These  700  were  sent,  with  a  note  of  explanation,  to  a  number  of 
the  librarians  of  the  State,  with  the  request  that  they  criticize  and 
add.  On  the  basis  of  their  replies  a  few  titles  were  dropped  from 
the  first  700.  From  the  titles  suggested  for  addition — few  in 
number — and  from  the  rejected  700  of  the  first  1,400,  300  were 
finally  chosen. 

The  completed  list  of  a  thousand  titles  was  then  put  in  type  and 
galley  proofs  were  sent  to  all  those  who  criticized  the  first  proof, 
and  to  several  others.  A  few  changes  were  made  on  the  basis  of 
the  criticisms  returned  with  these  proofs.
